I have two computers on my network & sometimes I work on one and other times on the other. They both have Calibre & point to the same location (on Dropbox) for the library, i.e. I enter books sometimes via one & sometimes via the other.

Questions;

How do I keep the two Calibre's in sync or can I?
What happens to the DB if/when they're out of sync?
Do they, maybe (hopefully), automatically stay in sync?
